What is your ministry?
I currently serve as the lead pastor of Zagreb Baptist Church, Croatia's most prominent and oldest Baptist church. I am also serving as a member of the Croatian Baptist Union Executive Committee and the European Baptist Federation Theology and Education Commission member.
When did you trust Christ?
When I was 16, I joined the church football team and soon started attending youth meetings. That was my first encounter with the Gospel. I became a Christian a year later at one of the church youth camps. This was the beginning of my walk with Christ. I was baptised a year later in the church where I pastor today.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
My past mentors, youth leaders, and pastors have greatly influenced my life. The elderly members of my church congregation have been a continuing prayer support throughout my formation and remain praying for me. One of the defining moments of my Christian walk was deciding to enter a theological seminary and hearing the call into ministry.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I anticipate engaging in a learning process focused on my areas of ministry interest. I am also looking forward to connecting with other leaders in European churches, developing friendships, and exchanging experiences.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
My past roles have included: youth coordinator, youth camp counsellor, deacon, assistant pastor, and vice-chairman of the European Baptist Federation Youth and Children Executive Committee.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I believe I have benefited from past training experiences in similar contexts, and those experiences have profoundly enriched my ministry. I think I will use the knowledge and experience to gain a fresh vision for better serving my local and national congregation.
